Teak outdoor furniture attracting bees?
ByWe just bought an outdoor patio set that is made out of teak wood. For some reason an assortment of bees such as wasps and yellow jackets are attracted to it. There is no nest under the table or anything. What makes them so infatuated with the furniture, and how should I get rid of them? I’ve tried spraying wasp and hornet spray at them but they still come back…

I had a similar problem but we had a nest under the a chair. Once that was removed we didn’t have any problems. Double check all the furniture for a hive, it might be tucked in a corner under a chair or really just really small. The only other thing I can think of is that they are attracted to the oil that was used to finish the furniture. You may want to try rinsing the furniture off and lightly scrub or wipe it down to see if that helps.
